This panel offers a wide-ranging discussion of ways that modern policymakers have sometimes tried to "channel" Abraham Lincoln's example in formulating and selling their policies. The panelists will debate whether Lincoln's legacy has been abused more than used in the modern context and will offer their own assessments about how (or whether) to apply Lincoln's lessons to some of the challenges of modern times. Panelists include Matthew Pinsker (Moderator), Michael Lind, Richard Norton Smith, Craig Symonds and James Swanson.

Scheduled for Ford's Theatre now at
First Congregational Church of Christ
